Great Pyramid of the Louvre

The Great Pyramid of the Louvre is a modern glass and metal pyramid designed by architect I. M. Pei, located at the entrance of the Louvre Museum in Paris. Completed in 1989, it serves as a striking, contemporary gateway that contrasts with the historic palace. The pyramid is about 21.6 meters (71 feet) tall, with a glass surface that reflects natural light and creates an inviting entrance. It symbolizes transparency and openness, seamlessly blending modern architecture with the Louvre's classical surroundings, and helps efficiently manage visitor flow into the museum.
